Nike Flyknit Origins

Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners craving a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability-all in one layer-was refined. The result is a featherweight, formfitting and virtually seamless upper.

Customer Reviews

A lot of hype about this new model. But there's a lot to hype about. The silhouette is unbelievably good. The toe tapers, the heel cup & midsole undulate. It's perverse how good the shoe is sculpted. The flyknit tech is amazing at ventilating, staying light & distributing pressure on a variety of foot shapes. The only caveat is, if you're planning on casually wearing with cotton socks, SIZE UP a half. If you're wearing them for sport with sock liners, they're true to size. I got the Oreo 2.0 black/white & am dying to see more models in darker colors...

In 1964, founders Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight turned their Blue Ribbon Sports venture into the Nike we know today. With roots in the University of Oregon's running team, Knight and Bowerman launched Nike and built the Swoosh into a high-profile brand synonymous with sneakers, athletic apparel, and the sports lifestyle, with help from the Air Jordan line along the way. From running to basketball to skating, some of the world's greatest athletes wear Nike footwear, helping to cement a legacy that has advanced and innovated sneaker culture for decades.
